Brynlee, you are a gift from God. I'm sure your loving words will melt your mom into blubberyness. Your ability to recognize her sacrifices, and her strengths, is awesome. KEEP ON becoming the young lady that the Lord has planned for you to be. Love you so much, --Papa. (P.S. So glad you enjoyed the fruit.)

I'm in school right now, and I don't even know if you are on this website anymore, because you persevered and Brock is doing so much better now, but I stumbled upon this website I didn't even know existed. I know a bit about Brock's conditions and hospital trips from the stories you would tell us growing up to help us understand why Brock struggled with things we never struggled with, but I never really knew until I read your posts. You are so strong, stronger than I've ever been and I don't know how you do it and how you still do. You've gone through so much, with Brocks's medical trips, and getting the privilege to add a wonderful silly kid to our family who brings us all so much joy. We've had so many trips to Denver for surgeries for Brock's leg and he's not the only kid who ended up going to Denver quite a few times in the past few months but you just suited up and sacrificed your time waking up several times throughout the night to give medicine, and waking up at 4 am to make it on time to appointments. There have been many visits to the burn clinic after the mishap in the kitchen (The fruit was delicious though) and you've always been there when we have something going on. You always support us when we have events, like concerts, performances, Courts of Honor and track meets. You spur us on spiritually and inspire us in so many ways and when we need to do stuff we don't want to do like cleaning our room and putting up laundry, you sacrifice your time to help us put it up when we have a hard day or get overwhelmed by all the stuff that happened during our day (I don't know how you still manage to do stuff when you have a hard day). You seem to seamlessly juggle your work and still manage to get us everywhere on time and never miss an event. You are so funny and always make me laugh even if I don't know that I need it at that moment, but when I'm sad, you offer yourself as a safe place to talk if I ever need someone to talk to. I love love love you so much and always will. You are such a role model in my life and in so many others. I love you and I hope you know it. I don't know if you'll ever see this, but if you don't it's ok, I'm trying to get better at telling you this stuff every day because everyone needs a little kindness in their life, and in this case the truth. Even if you don't ever see this or just maybe not for a long time, if you ever see this maybe it'll be during a time when you need it. I love you so much, and Brock is a Super Brock, and that in turn makes you a Super Mom. I'm one of the luckiest kids in the world to have gotten the priviledge of knowing you. Love you Mom 💗

We continue to lift Brock up in prayer. Your obstacles may be looming large but your God looms larger. You will not face any of this alone and we cry happy tears with you. Each post I read renews my faith in the power of our Creator and I close each post with a prayer on my lips for your precious little boy. Keep the updates coming.....I long for them....and I long for the day Brock shows us all just how super he is. Still praying in Austin.

So thankful that you were able to take Brock home. I discovered this blog through a friend on facebook and have been keeping up with your journey ever since. Although I've never been in your shoes, I do know the pain of watching a child struggle to live. My heart goes out to your sweet family and my prayers are with you. I hope and pray that all goes well at home...that Brock stays well...and that there is no permanent brain damage. If there is, I pray for God's peace and strength to be with all of you...and that all of this will "work together for good."

Hi, I go to Leander Church of Christ and I'm a friend of your parents. I've been following your struggles and want to thank you for your updates. I can't give you any advice or help you, but hopefully I can lessen one of your worrys. You wrote that you didn't know how you were going to explain to everyone what happened to Brock. But you don't owe anyone an explanation. I just wanted to say don't worry about the stares and whispers because they don't matter. What does matter is that baby Brock is a special little man who's going to have his own unique milestones. They won't be the normal run of the mill milestones but they'll be his own special ones. He'll accomplish them in his time and Gods time. Don't think or feel like you need to explain anything. After all, what would you explain? He's your perfect boy... nothing to explain there. I know that you are facing hurdles that seem impossible to do. But I believe that with your family, God, your church family, faith and prayers you be able to overcome them with love, patience, hope and continued faith.
My daughter Kaitlyn and her friend Heather (there 11 yrs old) wanted me to tell you that they hope Brock gets better soon.

I came to your story via Brad's cousin Amy, who is a good friend of mind. In fact, when my daughter was in the hospital in a different state over the summer having brain surgery for epilepsy, Amy served our family in several extremely thoughtful ways. I love how your friends and family are stepping forward to do that for you. Just wanted to let you know that I add my prayers for your sweet Brock. My daughter has fought seizures and had brain patterns since 3 months old that had doctors talking about her future and grim outcomes for leading a normal life. So I completely identify with the part of trying to grasp a vision of a future of such uncertainty for your baby. We've done the tests, the medications (tried soooo many), a special diet, and finally, a dramatic surgery. Since surgery she has had no seizures and her development has significantly improved. At 3 she has finally started walking and trying to say words and communicate with us. She will have challenges all her life and may never catch up, physically OR cognitively. However. I, like you, have felt God's hand in our lives so many times. Your children are getting a gift of a sibling who is unconditionally lovable. Whatever miracles God has in store for you, you will find that some will be physically for Brock, but many of them are in your own heart. Whatever comes, He gives strength to overcome it. Yes, this changes everything. But you will continually find new "normals" to deal with whatever comes next. Your faith is so inspiring. Your pain is so real to me. If you're like me you NEEDED a blog so you could put a happy spin on things at the end of the day, if only for your own heart and to assert your faith again. I didn't mean to be so long-winded...just feel so much for your sweet family and all you're going through. Truly beautiful children. Best wishes and if I can ever be of help, the world is ever so small with the internet! Blessings to your family!

Just wanted you to know our family is praying for you today. We have been but I was so happy my 10 year old Wyatt lead the prayer at lunch today and even with all his excitement of the day he remembered to pray for Brock with no prompting or reminders. I believe God especially hears the prayers of our children. Your family and especially Brock are on our minds and in our prayers continually. With Love, the Staffords

Brad and Taryn, I hope you are saving all of the post that you have made and received. So that when Brock gets ready to go off to college and enter into the big wide world you can show him what God has done for all of us through him. We are praying that he will become a mighty warrior in God's army.
Judy Black
We love you all and continue to pray for healing. Jackie & Judy

I hope and pray that Brock Morrow get's well very soon... He is in my prayers and my family's prayers. I hope his brain damage can be healed... I just don't know just what to type. This story is heart breaking and we take for granted of our health these days.
